Sitting next door to the Bunratty Castle in Bunratty, Co. Clare there is a wonderful, old (early 1600's) colorful tavern called Durty Nelly's.
What stands out most about this place, besides it's exterior color, is in one of the front rooms they've posted hundreds of police & fire department patches from all around the world.
BUT they did not have any from Kentucky.
So hence, my challenge began, I asked a couple of police if they had any extras, or if I could buy one - all "NO". Well, well - I found one on EBay. It will be personally delivered later this year and hopefully posted in a place of honor at Durty Nelly's.
